Abbas Araghchi, Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs, in a post in his X account said that “The complexity and tenacity of Iranians is well evident in our luxurious carpets woven with endless hours of effort and patience. But as a nation, our principled logic is very simple and straightforward: we know what we have, we value our independence, and we will never let anyone else determine our destiny.”

He added: “If Trump wants a deal, he should put aside his disrespectful and unacceptable tone towards the Iran’s Leader of Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and not hurt the hearts of millions of his true followers.”

The great and powerful people of Iran, who showed the world that the Israeli regime has no choice but to seek refuge in their "great master" to avoid being razed to the ground by our missiles, will not heed the threats and insults. If illusions lead to worse mistakes, Iran will not hesitate to unveil its true capabilities, and this will surely end any illusions about Iran's power, Iranian FM concluded.

Goodwill brings goodwill, and respect, respect.
